Mom is in Town!! YAY!!!

Well Mia came into town last Thursday!! It has been a blessing for Jared and I. We can get so much done with her here!! I hope Caroline hasn't tortured her to much yet. Thursday night after she arrived she watched Caroline so Jared and I could go to the Panther's game, when we got home at 11:30 she was still awake and Mia told us that as she was running bath water for Caroline, Caroline decided to throw all of the towels and accessories in the bath water. While she was taking everything out of the bathtub, Caroline decided to take Mia's PJ's and throw them in the toilet!! Isn't she an angel!! :) I asked mom if she punished her and she said she couldn't !! I wonder who is having more fun, Mom or Caroline?? Caroline is getting away with MURDER!! LOL!! We are very thankful to have her here, so Caroline better enjoy getting away with everything while she can.
I noticed I still haven't put up any pics. I am going to pick them up today so I will do that tomorrow!! I promise!!
We are waiting on the arrival of Luke!!! I am going to be an AUNT!! I am so excited and proud!! I can't wait!! We only have 4 more days if he doesn't come before than!!
We love an miss you all!! Hope everyone is dong well!!

Sorry about the Pics.

Sorry I haven't posted any pics like I said I would. I will be honest and say I haven't even gotten them developed. I will take the last two tonight and take them tomorrow so they will be on in by at least Wed. (Hopefully). We really aren't up to much lately. I did yard work for the first time on Saturday and I could feel it on Sunday. We are waiting on the arrival of Luke, I talk to Caroline about him everyday so she will get use to hearing his name and maybe understand everything once she sees him. :) I can't wait!! The men are finishing the touch ups on our house today, so I can finally clean everything and not have to worry about the dust they bring in and the mess. I am going to finish our guest room before Thursday so my Mom has a place to sleep unless she decideds to sleep with Caroline. :) And that is about it. I promise I will try to get some pics up as soon as possible though!!

Moved for the Last time for a Long Time!!!

Well, we have moved yet AGAIN!! We got the OK to go ahead and move in on Saturday morning. We started then and are still not done!! Needless to say it doesn't matter yet because the power is not even turned on. Jared did a WONDERFUL job of hanging all of the blinds!! Thanx Hun!!We have finished Caroline's room and must I say it is perfect for her. The bookcase that my Dad, "Pop", built her is absolutly gorgeous and it makes her room look like a princess'. We have finished in the living room also. All that is left is the master bedroom, kitchen, and Caroline's playroom "Dining Room!". It is starting to come together I am just waiting on the power to be on so I can move everything from the basement to the house. I will post pics as soon as possible. We close on it tomorrow morning and then I will be sooo happy, even though I will be in debt for the next 30 years of my life, I have decided it is well worth it.

CAROLINE!!

My Little Girl is Growing Up!!

It doesn't seem like it has been that long, and it is hard to believe that Caroline will be 2 years old in 4 months and 10 days to be exact. They grow up so fast!! Last night Caroline was playing in my heels and jewlery and I was thinking that it felt like just the other day she couldn't even walk, and now she is running!!! I have loved watching her grow and sometimes I am sad that my baby is growing up and will not need me for forever, but I understand that is the reason I am here to be her mother and help her when she needs me and discipline her to teach her right from wrong. Cherish every moment is what I have learned. I love every stage Caroline hits and some I wish would pass by quicker than others. But she needs me for now so I am happyand I know even though I am grown and have a family of my own I still need my mom sometimes (I wish all the time, but I take what I can have!!:) ) and I have that to look forward to in the future.

Picture Update!!

I took some new pics this weekend should be up by mid of next week, I will also have some pics of my little nephew's Baby Shower!!! Can't wait for him to be here!!!!!!!

Caroline is not yet potty trained, but she is paper trained!!

Thought I would post everyone who reads our blog a funny story that happened today. I had just gotten Caroline out of the tub and she didn't want her diaper on yet so I was letting her run around naked while I ironed her clothes. Everything got really quite so I turned around to see what she was doing and low and behold she was squatting and using the bathroom on some paper!! LOL!! :) Maybe we should start potty training, if only she could talk!!

Moved Again!!!

Last night me and Jared went and got our queen size bed out of the building. We set it up in the basement of his parents house, and gave his brother his room back. It gives us a little more privacy and we can go down there and spend some family time just us three if we wanted to. We found out that it will probably be another week at the least before we even get into our house. I am praying for a miracle though and hoping it gets done before then. Pray for us!!!!!!!!!! :)

Tuesday, August 1st

As we start a new month, the troubles from last month carry over. We are still not in our house, we are living with Jared's parents out of boxes, Me, Caroline, and Jared all sleep together in a double bed (which needless to say we do not fit), and all of our stuff is packed into boxes in trailers which are sitting in our new backyard!! :) But this shall all pass and we will be in our house and things will get better. Hopefully we will be in by the time my sister has her baby!!
